“I’m a tattoo guy and it was something fun. I wanted to make politics fun,” he told Politico earlier this month. “I didn’t change no lives; I’m no hero. But I shed blood for this campaign, and I’m glad to know that I did all that I could.”

But since then Romney’s post-election comments and has changed his mind, reportedly telling the politics site that he now plans to have the tattoo lasered off.
